I don’t believe that there is a satisfactory linear TV deal to be had at

this point. It’s like waiting for a train to come that you have already missed and don’t realize it. Plus some PAC 12 Presidents aren’t willing to sign a GOR that involves mostly streaming content like an offer from Apple. This has made George Kliavkoff’s job extremely difficult if not impossible. It has now been almost a year since the PAC 12 started negotiating a new TV contract and they have been unsuccessful to date. I have no idea what circumstances would have to change in a month or 6 months or even a year that would all of sudden make the linear networks want PAC 12 content and be willing to pay for it at a level that keeps the conference together. With respect to the ACC, I don’t believe that the “magnificent seven” were meeting in secrecy behind the commissioner’s back for negotiating leverage on the subject of uneven conference revenue distribution. They were meeting on the subject of getting out of the GOR which is holdings the conference together and keeping some schools from pursuing financially better options. What I would be interested in is knowing who was the Judas among Judases who exposed the magnificent seven right before the Annual Spring Meeting? My guess (based on almost nothing) is that it was North Carolina State. The news keeps getting worse for the PAC 12. This show out of Utah was one of the biggest PAC 12 homer shows out there, but not any more.

You know Nebraska is just chomping at the bit to move to the B12.

Yeah, I'm sure Nebraska is trying to get out of the big 10 while everybody

No ACC school would leave for the big 12

"Nothing becomes official until the #Pac12 gets their TV deal finalized,"

The PAC cannot make a contract until their membership stabilizes.

They are in trouble, they were in trouble years ago because Larry Scott ran

I've been hearing the Pac12 deal is $20M per school
Millpoint • 06/05/23 02:32 PM ET
ESPN is offering $120 million per year for the Saturday 10 pm games.
HOO86 • 06/05/23 11:31 PM ET
Yeas, but the news really cripples P12 negotiation power for a good deal. **
Maroon Effect • 06/05/23 12:38 PM ET
Someone is poisoning the well
obguthr • 06/05/23 03:50 PM ET
exactly. Every one of these rumors weakens the P12 position
HokieAl • 06/05/23 12:59 PM ET
it's possible that it strengthens their position, especially if Apple or
Big12 guy • 06/05/23 01:04 PM ET
but no GOR for PAC. That increases risk for media partners
HokieAl • 06/05/23 01:21 PM ET
Tough spot may be too generous
obguthr • 06/05/23 03:59 PM ET
UW and UO might as well sign a short term Pac-12 GOR at the point.
Maroon Baboon • 06/06/23 01:35 PM ET
It is. But it's GOR or bust no matter where the money lands. **
Big12 guy • 06/05/23 01:37 PM ET
I agree with this, and as we dont know what is being discussed
Big12 guy • 06/05/23 12:05 PM ET
Pac teams won't leave for the Big 12 until they see the new media contract.

West Virginia has no interest in joining the ACC

The Best Teams in the Big XII have already made plans to leave.
